DISPLACED INDIGENOUS PEOPLE RESETTLEMENT PROGRAM (DIPR)

THE CHALLENGE

Internal displacement of people affects the lives of people forced to leave their homes because of conflict, violence, climate change or disasters in many ways:

​

  • Access to land, housing, infrastructure, education, health, social life, security, and living environment changes and degrades

  • Displaced people lose their livelihoods, as a result of being pushed away from their ancestral lands and way of life

  • They risk losing their culture and language 

  • Consequently, they experience months or years without a way to live decently, honorably, and with dignity

  • People move from independent living in harmony with nature, to being dependent on the new communities to which they were moved involuntarily
